Air France Named Official Partner Airline of Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics Games

Air France proudly announces its role as the official partner airline for the highly anticipated Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympics Games. The significance of the aerial dimension of these Games cannot be underestimated, as several disciplines are scheduled to take place at sub-sites far from the French capital.

With events such as Sailing in Marseilles, situated on the picturesque Mediterranean coast, approximately 400 miles away from Paris, and the Surfing competition in Teahupo’o, French Polynesia, an astonishing 10,000 miles from mainland France in the South Pacific, Air France is set to play a vital role in connecting athletes and participants from around the world.

As part of this exclusive Olympic partnership, Air France will deliver specialized services catering to the unique needs of Olympic and Paralympic athletes. The focus will be on ensuring that paralympic athletes with reduced mobility receive exceptional assistance during their travel to and from the games. Additionally, the airline will provide a dedicated check-in service at the Olympic Village and allocate space in the aircraft’s cargo hold to accommodate sports equipment.

Benjamin Smith, the CEO of Air France-KLM, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming event, stating, “(…) Come summer 2024, we will help the very best of France soar worldwide like never before, on the wings of excellence, respect, and inclusion,” as quoted in the official press release.

The designation of Air France as the official Olympic carrier comes as no surprise, considering the airline’s longstanding cooperation with the organizers of the Paris Olympics since the French capital’s bid was launched in 2016.

Already demonstrating its commitment, at least ten of Air France’s aircraft have been adorned with motifs symbolizing the 2024 Olympics, showcasing the airline’s excitement and dedication to the prestigious event.

As the Paris 2024 Olympics approach, Air France is gearing up to play a pivotal role in connecting athletes, communities, and nations. With a focus on excellence, inclusivity, and seamless travel, Air France is set to contribute to the success of this global celebration of sport and unity.
